old 2 prong outlet question
Hi guys,
I have an electrical issue/question. I own an older 2 family built in 1932. The outlets are mostly 2 prong and it appears there is no ground wire. My tenant is asking me to change to 3 prong so she could readily plug in things without having to use a 3 to 2 prong adapters.
I am ok with changing to 3 prong outlets but I am thinking about it and if there is only a hot and neutral in the wall is it a good idea to change to 3 prong? Would this create a saftey issue or is it the same situation as it is now with 2 prong and no ground and just more of a convenience b/c she wouldn't need the adapter?
thx!
Chris
